Precast BIM Coordinator

The Precast BIM Coordinator manages the BIM workflows, model exchange, and spatial integration for precast concrete manufacturing and installation projects. Sitting at the intersection of the main contractor's design team, precast structural engineers, factory production management, and site erection crews, this role ensures all 3D precast models align strictly with ISO 19650 standards and project BIM Execution Plans (BEP). The Precast BIM Coordinator leads cross-disciplinary clash resolution, enforces model data integrity (LOD 300 to LOD 500), and streamlines the digital thread from design modeling through CAM data extraction to final site placement.

Key Responsibilities

• BIM Execution & Process Management

  • Implement and enforce project-specific BIM Execution Plans (BEP) across internal precast modeling teams and external sub-consultants.
  • Manage the Common Data Environment (CDE) setups (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud / Trimble Connect) for smooth IFC/RVT/NWD file exchanges.
  • Establish precast modeling standards, shared parameters, element naming conventions, and coordinate system setups (project base points).

• Interdisciplinary Coordination & Clash Resolution

  • Conduct regular BIM coordination meetings with main contractors, MEP engineers, and architectural teams.
  • Perform automated clash detection checks (using Navisworks or Solibri) to identify spatial conflicts between precast elements, MEP cast-in sleeves, structural steel interfaces, and cast-in-place concrete.
  • Log, track, and assign Clash Reports and RFIs via CDE platforms to ensure timely resolution prior to factory mold assembly.

• Production & Site Digital Integration

  • Verify that model data outputs accurately feed factory automated machinery (driving BVBS, Unitechnik, or DXF files for mesh welders and CNC plotters).
  • Coordinate 4D (Schedule/Erection sequencing) and 5D (Quantity take-offs/BOM) model integration to support production planning and transport logistics.
  • Support quality control by verifying as-built laser scan point clouds against the precast fabrication models for tolerance checks.

• Quality Assurance & Team Oversight

  • Audit incoming sub-consultant models and internal team models for spatial accuracy, parameter completeness, and LOD compliance before production release.
  • Train and support precast detailers and BIM modelers on standard modeling workflows and platform updates.

Desired Candidate Profile

Education: Bachelor’s Degree or Higher Diploma in Civil Engineering, Architectural Technology, BIM Management, or Construction Management.
